    Why? Just don’t buy it. When do you have absolutely nothing to eat?

    Worst case scenario you can always buy directly from farmers.

        Where I live we have farmers’ markets, the supermarket is not the only option

        Not to mention you can just order food online directly from an online shopping site

          We have farmers’ markets here too, but if the problem with a supermarket is prices being too high then a trip to the farmers’ market is the opposite of a solution. Never mind, of course, that a farmers’ market would get cleaned out of everything on sale in a matter of minutes if everyone replaced their supermarket shopping with it.

          I would like to know why you think that a supermarket that applies dynamic pricing in a physical shop would not also do the same online

          I live in the countryside with fields directly backing onto my house and I still have no way of buying food directly from farmers, the absolute closest you can get is someone with an apple tree leaving apples in a box on their driveway when they have too many to use. Farmers markets are for posh twats.

      ^ This comment has got to be trolling.

      You need electricity? Just buy your own generator.
      Need water? Just dig a well…
      Need oxygen? Well…

      My local farmers market is only open seasonally and consists of about 1/3 of their booths selling banking services or squishmallows, 1/3 of the booths selling (delicious, but not very storable) ethnic foods, a bread stand, a honey stand that also sells mail order animals by the quarter (butchered, I think), and 3 booths selling scraggly renditions of whatever they’re currently harvesting.

      I wish I lived in the same sorts of community conditions where you live, or had the connections to local food producers that you do, but the reality is that I takes whats I can get.
      And what I can get is from mega corps that care more about profits than starving a few people.
